How much approximately would that cost?
I'm interested in improving the sound in my car, but I'm not an audiophile so I just am after a better sound, but nothing over the top. I don't care about pumping music loudly either, just so I can hear it and nobody else :)

You will get noticable difference with a budget of around 1.5k.
Sound deadening, door n amp install around 600-700
Amp small enough to fit under seat n also decent enough 500-600
2 way splits 300-500

Hmmmmm

$1500 on audio which I don't really care about.

OR

$1500 on peformance mods.


Yep.....
Maybe sometime in the future I will look in to improving the audio, if I ever get around to do Tai's In car PC mod.
Thanks for the general info though, I'll be sure to hit up some of you audiophiles (Garbo I am looking at you) if I ever do get around to it.

With speakers.. Dont let anyone but your ears tell u what they like. A speaker i like but u may not, so audition a whole range. Another thing is with car audio, stay away brands like pioneer, jbl, sony, boss etc.. Go for proper brands like Audison, arc, digital designs, focal, crescendos, morel etc.. These will give much better SQ!!!!

That is EXACTLY what he is telling you. Come on, we don't drive WRX's now do we??? LOL

Audison, arc, digital designs, focal, crescendos, morel etc.

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!

I'll be sure to hit up some of you audiophiles (Garbo I am looking at you) if I ever do get around to it.

No worries mate, let me know when you are ready and I'm happy to advise anytime. I hate to see anyone go to JB Hifi or something and get the same "hek sik" Audioline stereo that the sales guy just bought for his 1987 Civic only to be disappointed by the results. Also, as someone has already mentioned, the best speakers money can buy are the ones that sound best to you. Any advice people give you should just be used for guidance.
Car(s): Steel Silver MY10 GT Wagon + 1985 Subaru Sherpa

Mods: (GT) HKS Panel Filter. The HKS I put in the MY10 is the same filter I took out of my MY05 GT. So yes, they do fit. Custom leather heel pad to minimise carpet wear in the drivers footwell. Slotted front rotors. (Sherpa) 14'' 6 Spoke mags, Chrome Gear Shift (sick!), Alloy Pedals (sicker!), new positive and negative battery terminals, Alpine cda-9827 H/U, JBL GT 6x9's boxed and mounted (sickest!), Kicker DS650.2 component speakers mounted in the footwells in flibreglass pods, Alpine MRP-F200 4 channel amp (4x40wRMS), Rebadged with hektik chrome eBay badges, STi stickers for more powaaaa, "leather" handbrake boot, recarpetted with grey/black car carpet from Bunnings, sick Clarke Rubber boot mat, polished and waxed.
